(SACRAMENTO) – After being the subject of negative press stories about opposition from liberal diplomats, John Bolton, the man President Bush has nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. is about to receive a big boost.

Move America Forward (website: www.MoveAmericaForward.org), an organization that has been highly critical of the United Nations, has announced that they will sponsor a national television ad campaign in support of Bolton’s nomination to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.

The pro-Bolton ad campaign also counters an anti-John Bolton effort launched by Citizens for Global Solutions. Their anti-Bolton ad can be seen online at http://www.StopBolton.org. The anti-Bolton group is closely aligned with the Democrat Party. In the 2004 congressional elections, more than 95% of the 140+ candidates endorsed by the Citizens for Global Solutions PAC were Democrats.

The commercials produced to SUPPORT John Bolton’s confirmation as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. begin running next week on national television networks including CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC. The ad campaign will reach millions of U.S. households.

The ads are being paid for by Move America Forward’s grassroots members who have made contributions to the pro-Bolton ad campaign at Move America Forward’s website - www.MoveAmericaForward.org. Thousands of Move America Forward’s members have been contributing online to the pro-Bolton effort because these individuals admire Bolton’s strong leadership and history of fighting for the best interests of the United States.

"Freedom-loving democracies unfortunately comprise only a minority of the United Nation’s 191 member nations. The U.N. has become a meeting hall for despots and dictators to vent their greivances with the United States and pass resolutions that have the intent of causing harm to American interests," said Howard Kaloogian, Co-Chairman of Move America Forward.

“John Bolton will make a great ambassador to the U.N. because he will fight for what is in the best interests of the United States. He will represent U.S. interests in his role as ambassador, rather than being a conduit for America’s critics to somehow bully the Bush administration into weakening U.S. resolve,” said Kaloogian.

Melanie Morgan, Move America Forward’s other Co-Chairman, noted that the strong grassroots support for Bolton is not surprising in light of the recent presidential election results.

“In the 2004 election we saw that the candidate who advocated a ‘global test’ for America’s foreign policy decisions was rejected by the voters. It’s not surprising then that we’ve seen so many people interested in supporting a man like John Bolton who speaks with a much stronger voice for U.S. interests,” Morgan said.

In addition to the ad campaign, Bolton supporters are also calling and emailing the offices of U.S. Senators who will decide whether or not to confirm Bolton for the U.N. post. Move America Forward has posted to our website [see: http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/SpecialProjects/SupportBolton ] the phone numbers and email addresses of various members of the Senate and sent a series of emails to our supporters encouraging to join the "Support John Bolton" effort.

“Our sources on Capitol Hill tell us a number of Senator’s have been bombarded with thousands upon thousands of pro-Bolton phone calls and emails. And we’ve only just begun to fight to support John Bolton,” Morgan concluded.

The pro-Bolton ad will run in conjunction with another ad released by Move America Forward, "U.N. Photo Album," which cites U.N. General Secretary, Kofi Annan’s cozy embrace of disgraced leaders like Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro.
